Yan Lao Er quietly came in through the back door of the official office.

When he finished freshening up and changing clothes, he looked like a man again.

walked from the backyard to the front and met with Xue Zongqi, who was about to leave.

Yan Lao Er shouted familiarly: "Brother Xue is leaving!" ”

He really just said hello casually, but he didn't know how to be polite.

Xue Zongqi stopped suddenly, stared at him with very strange eyes for a while, and saw that Yan Lao'er was furious.

What's wrong with this? The play he played just now was discovered? It's not like that, we're all in a group, even if you find out that it's me in the crowd, do you need to look at me with such strange eyes?!

"Second Brother Yan, it's rare to see you lately, I want to kill you Brother Xue!" Xue Zongqi's face changed too quickly, and his enthusiasm was about to overflow, and he dragged Yan Lao Er to the nearest restaurant.

"Brother Xue, Brother Xue, what are you doing, let go of me, I can't leave ......" Yan Lao Er was so anxious that he sweated, and hurriedly said: "Then Gonggong Li and his party came all the way here, we can't let people come and leave, why do we have to have a meal, I still have to keep an eye on it, I can't entertain anything that is not thoughtful, when will our brothers get together, Brother Xue, hurry up and let me go, what about the mess of brothers!" ”

Xue Zongqi grabbed a Yan Lao Er and didn't hold the handle in his hand.

said that they wanted to drink together, and they must not let him run.

"What can you do if you entertain again, and can it be better than Fucheng's entertainment? There is really something delicious to eat, how dare you serve it. Xue Zongqi understands these very well, and said in a sincere tone: "We can see what conditions we have, you can't pick us on, it's not beautiful to really set up a table of seats."

What kind of person is Gonggong Li, a well-known internal official in the palace, who is serving in front of the saint, he has never seen anything in the world, you see, this meal will not be eaten, and he will have to leave after a while.

Don't believe me? Let's sit on the street, you see, if people don't leave, we'll let you go back, if people leave, our brothers will stop drinking, what's the matter? ”

That's all said and done, don't say it, Yan Lao Er is really a little curious about whether Gonggong Li and his party will stay for dinner.

The two of them found a place by the window, and Yan Lao Er couldn't help but look out.

Xue Zongqi skillfully ordered a few appetizers and asked the store to send two pots of good wine.

As soon as two dishes were served, there was a commotion in front of the official office.

Master Tian led people to send Gonggong Li and his entourage out of the official office......

Yan Lao Er gave a thumbs up to Xue Zongqi: "Brother Xue, you really have you, quasi!" ”

Xue Zongqi smiled proudly: "What is this, you just have less experience, don't say that you are from the capital, everyone in the city looks down on us, people are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and they can't look down on our coarse tea and light rice, normal, hehe, but they haven't tasted your craftsmanship of the second brother Yan, but if you have eaten, you must not leave!" ”

He held Yan Lao Er a little.

Yan Lao Er smiled so much that his teeth were exposed, and he said modestly: "Where is it, Brother Xue said that he laughed, we have self-knowledge, that is, to cook a home-cooked meal......"

Xue Zongqi poured a glass of wine for Yan Lao Er first, and then poured himself a glass: "Yan Er Brother is capable, he grabs it at home and abroad, I look at it coldly, brother, you are not overwhelmed, you have a good meal, you can settle accounts, you can manage things, and you don't have to say anything about dealing with people, and you have to go on a scientific examination after the New Year?" Well, it's really much more convenient to have a fame, and brother, your courage, my brother also admires it, when you meet Beirong, don't coward, dare to go, it's a man! ”

"Come, brother, toast you!" Xue Zongqi raised his glass.

Yan Lao Er hurriedly picked up the wine glass, and without hesitation, he drank it all.

The two of them lit up the bottom of each other's cups, looked at each other and laughed.

"Brother Xue, we have a relationship, if you have something to say, you can say it directly." Yan Lao Erxin said, don't fool me, if you have anything, be happy.

The scalded wine has a lot of strength in the mouth.

With the strength of this wine, Xue Zongqi simply opened up and no longer beat around the bush.

"Yan Er, where did you come from Qishan Mansion?" He looked at Yan Lao Er and asked.

Yan Lao Er was confused, sandwiched a chopstick dish, and said while eating: "Brother Xue asked this, so he came here, came out of his hometown, passed Leshan Mansion, and met a mountain bandit, so we took a detour and turned a corner from the other end of Xizhou, otherwise how could we enter from the tiger's side, it is also fate, if we don't go around this big circle, we are afraid that we will not be born in the tiger, how can our brothers have the opportunity to drink at the same table......"

"Yes, you met a mountain bandit halfway, you tell Brother Xue specifically, what is the mountain bandit like? Are there a lot of people? Fierce or not? Xue Zongqi asked.

Yan Lao Er opened his mouth and came: "There are a lot of people, it's very scary, how can we not be fierce, can we run if we are not fierce, now I am afraid to think about it, hey, I don't dare to look back and think about it, and I have nightmares at night......"

Xue Zongqi took a glass of wine by himself, and suddenly asked, "Yan Er, did you kill someone?" How many of those bandits did you kill? ”

Yan Lao Er's face did not change, and he did not even pause in the action of picking vegetables.

"Brother Xue, why are you interested in mountain bandits again? Are you going to ...... Bandits? He nodded again and again and said, "It's time to crack it down, it's too rampant!" Dare to stop people on the official road...... By the way, is this bandit much credit? Can you be a military meritor? ”

Xue Zongqi put down his chopsticks, looked solemn, and said in a deep voice: "Yan Er, don't talk about those useless things, Yan Hushu told me everything, you tell Brother Xue the truth, how many of them are there?" Are you really ready to go? You have also seen what our border army is like, how do you compare it with our border army brothers?

You don't have to hide it from me, I can see from the day you came, your village has seen blood, and it is not surprising what you have experienced on the way to escape the famine, and I don't ask, but the gang ...... Tell me about it, tell me carefully! ”

Yan Lao Er didn't look up, lowered his head and took a sip of wine.

He heard that what Xue Zongqi wanted to ask was not a mountain bandit.

"What did my brother tell you?" Yan Lao Er asked in a low voice.

Xue Zongqi repeated what Yan Huaiwen said to him.

Yan Lao Er exhaled.

Raised his eyes and looked at Xue Zongqi steadily, and said slowly: "What my brother said is all, you let me say, I can't say a flower, what is the specific, how can we know, bumped into, caught up, it really makes people mutter, my brother is always careful, think more, if you also think it's a thing, pay more attention." ”

Xue Zongqi looked at him funny.

This Yan Lao Er said that he is really, useless idle and you dig out your heart and lungs, and want to ask something useful from his mouth, it is really not leaky.

He took another glass of wine himself.

I drank a little fast, and my throat was hot.

"Yan Er, you can hurry up and become an official, this is not the case, but I have an official tone with your brother Xue, Yan Hushu is your brother, don't you know what he is talking about!"

Yan Lao Er smiled wryly, he knew too well, his brother would never use two words if he could use one word.

Xue Zongqi: "Your brother has arranged it for me, let me go to Qishan Mansion and Leshan Mansion for Huju and send official documents......

I'm going to go from Xizhou, and I'm close to us, and it's not too far away. ”

Yan Lao Er nodded secretly, seeing is believing, no matter how much he says, he didn't let people see the truth with his own eyes.

He didn't know why the eldest brother chose this time to poke things out, but the eldest brother has always been reliable in doing things, and there must be his deep meaning.

Xue Zongqi glanced at Yan Lao Er, and said: "According to my heart, I want you to go on this trip with me, but I also know that you will take the exam in the next year, so you don't miss your future. ”

He needed to know more details so that he could determine the focus of his observations.

Yan Lao Er no longer concealed it, and told the events of the day in detail.

A full meal of wine was drunk for an hour.
